Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., canola or grapeseed oil)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and neutral oil.

Step 2

Add in the honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame seeds, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Whisk the ingredients together vigorously with a fork or shake the jar until the mixture is well emulsified and smooth.

Step 4

Check the consistency and taste the vinaigrette. If desired, add the optional water, one teaspoon at a time, to thin it out to your liking.

Step 5

Adjust seasoning as needed. You can add a pinch more honey for sweetness or a few extra drops of sesame oil for a richer nutty flavor.

Step 6

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk again before using, as separation is natural.
